Why take a day trip to Český Krumlov?

Český Krumlov is too far for a quick visit without a car. A day trip from Prague takes care of transport and often a guide, so you can focus on the castle, the old town and the Vltava. Full-day tours typically include enough time to see the main sights and have lunch in town.
